Unfortunately most serviceberries (Amelanchier) are actually trees and generally grow much taller than only 6 feet, although they do grow rather slowly at a rate of a little over a foot a year. For a smaller plant you might try the native Running Serviceberry or Amelanchier stolonifera which matures at about the size you need, averaging between four and six feet tall.
